• What is :Noice in vim or nvim?

  • Answer

    • AI/Response
      • :Noice is not part of stock vim or stock nvim. It is a user-defined Ex command registered by the third-party plugin noice.nvim (by Folke Lemaitre). If the plugin is not loaded, :Noice is unknown.
      • What the plugin does: noice.nvim replaces or augments Neovim’s UI for messages, the cmdline, and the popupmenu (see plugin readme and :help noice.nvim after install). :Noice is the entry command into that UI and its subcommands.
      • Common subcommands (from upstream docs): :Noice or :Noice history — message history; :Noice last — last message; :Noice dismiss — close visible noice views; :Noice disable / :Noice enable — toggle the plugin; :Noice errors — errors view; :Noice telescope / :Noice fzf / :Noice pick — pickers over history; :Noice stats — debug stats. Long forms like :NoiceHistory may also exist depending on version.
      • vim vs nvim: Classic Vim does not ship :Noice; you would only see it in Neovim (or a distribution) where noice.nvim is installed. Unrelated “noice” strings in other tools are not this command.
